Ping G425 Max

The G425 Max fairway at 14.5 degrees for the 3-wood is a half-degree stronger than most competitors at the same label, which means it typically produces a lower, more boring ball flight off the tee rather than the high, soft-landing shape some players prefer from a 3-wood. The Facewrap technology, a thin maraging steel face extending into the crown and sole, delivered ball speeds that tested at the top of the category in 2021. The adjustable Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel allowed for loft and lie changes, which adds fitting latitude that most used buyers will appreciate if the head comes with the wrench. The 43-inch standard length for the 3-wood is shorter than most alternatives, which improves contact rates at a small distance cost.
